<p>" I agree with you that money is not everything, I’m in it for primarily knowing how things work. "
- Ummm… depending on what you mean by that, you might be better served by the hard sciences… physics, chemistry, biology, geology, mathematics, etc. There’s a philosophical difference between knowing how things work and knowing how to make things work. If you’re really in it for the pursuit of knowledge… especially fundamentally new knowledge… the only reason to opt for engineering over science is money, and you just said money isn’t everything.</p>
